ABOUT ME

Warren Elardo M.S.W., R.S.W. (He/Him)
Experienced Professional Therapist

I am here to walk your path with you. My practice specializes in working with youth, couples, and families. I support clientele who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, divorce/separation, trauma, and/or conflict. I work with individuals who are experiencing mental health struggles that often intersect with their immigration status, cultural heritage, and gender identity. I work from an anti-oppressive lens that incorporates your socioeconomic location. I can provide single sessions, brief therapy (2-6 sessions), and long-term psychotherapy. I offer my services through my office, at your home, through Zoom (video therapy), or any location convenient for you.

 

I’ve helped youth, individuals, and couples, break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. I recognize that each person is different with different ways of connecting. I will ensure that you feel safe, and comfortable and that we go at your pace so that you can begin to trust in the process.

I use a wide range of scientific knowledge ranging from neuroscience, clinical psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, just to name a few.

 

I received my Master's Degree in Social Work at the University of Toronto with a special focus on clinical counseling for individuals and their families. If you would like to learn more about me you can find me at Psychology Today.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, intense emotions, or trauma, we can work together to move forward with defeating it. With individual therapy, you’ll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you.

GROUP THERAPY

When I have several clients experiencing similar issues, I will often invite them to consider attending group therapy or a workshop. Group therapy provides clients with the opportunity to meet others and learn from each other. Although people are hesitant at first, many find that group effects have a powerful impact on their own ability to challenge their struggles.

I am also available for insurance companies and agencies to provide a workshop on a variety of topics (workplace violence and harassment, self-care, sleep hygiene, managing anxiety, and stress).

Home: FAQ

HOW CAN I BOOK MY FIRST SESSION?  HOW OFTEN WOULD WE MEET?

You are welcome to email or call for any questions you may have. I can provide you with a FREE 15 minute consult about your needs. After that, we can work out a schedule that works for you. Many of my previous clients find that weekly and bi-weekly is the most convenient and effective.

WHAT ARE YOUR FEES AND IS IT COVERED BY OHIP?

Unfortunately, the provincial government does not provide OHIP coverage for therapy. Many employers provide their employees with insurance coverage for counseling services. Ask your employer about your coverage. I am able to provide you with a receipt for insurance purposes. My rate is $160 per hour, and $220 for couples counselling.

IS EVERYTHING CONFIDENTIAL?

A trusting relationship with your therapist can only be developed if there is confidentiality. We will discuss this in detail at our first meeting.
